Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind. 9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

To Glorify God/Daniel 3: 13-28 - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the furnace because they would not turn away from or negate their Faith in God by bowing to idols as ordered by Nebuchadnezzar. God sent an angel to protect them and Nebuchadnezzar believed in the power of God and encouraged it from that day forward.

Ok, here goes. Gods glory was seen in the wonders and powers of His mighty hand in the form of trials in Deut. 7:19. The early christians were subject to various trials, so that the proof of your faith...tested by fire...praises God. 1 Peter 1:5-7. Our Growth in Christ. James 1:2-4 trials produce endurance so we might be perfect, complete, and lacking nothing. Bad things happen to comfort others can be seen in Josephs life Gen. 37:1- all his trials led God to use him to save his family from starvation along with his country. Consequences both supernatural and natural can be seen throughout all the Bible but a few are Gen. 19:13-24 The result of Sodom , as well as the Prodigal son had everything, lost everything because of foolish choices which caused him to return to the Father. Rom 6:23 the wages of sin is death. There is so much in the Word that can be applied to all of these ideas and never enough time to dig into all of them. At the end of it all we can rejoice that God our Father is in control. That He desires us to grow in the "bad things" become stronger in our faith and love others in the process. All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Love Him, search for Him and you will find Him. He is lovingly waiting for our return.There is so much rest in His hands!
